[0025] A one-way vomit inlet assembly is installed on the top of the container 1 above the trash can 100. A funnel-shaped cover 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the one-way vomit inlet assembly. A lifting and adjusting assembly is installed between the top of the container 1 and the outside of the funnel-shaped cover 2. The funnel-shaped cover 2 is used to assist lung cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy in vomiting. The one-way vomit inlet assembly is used to allow vomit to be discharged one-way into the trash can 100. By using the one-way flow method, a one-way restriction is formed to prevent odor from spreading upwards. The lifting and adjusting assembly is used to adjust the height of the funnel-shaped cover 2 according to the different heights of the chemotherapy patients.

[0026] A PLC controller 3 is installed on the top of the housing 1. Cleaning water is filled inside the housing 1 below the partition 101. A water inlet pipe located below the partition 101 is fixedly connected to the right side of the housing 1. The water inlet pipe is used for personnel to add cleaning water to the housing 1. The top of the funnel-shaped cover 2 and the housing 1 are equipped with the same pressure-measuring ring-flush self-cleaning component for automatic cleaning after chemotherapy patients vomit. The pressure-measuring ring-flush self-cleaning component is electrically connected to the PLC controller 3. Handrails 6 are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the pressure-measuring ring-flush self-cleaning component. The handrails 6 are used for chemotherapy patients to hold on and support themselves when vomiting. The pressure-measuring ring-flush self-cleaning component is used to detect the increased pressure when holding on and, when the pressure increases, is controlled by the PLC controller 3 to automatically open and clean the funnel-shaped cover 2 and the vomit into the component in one direction, preventing the residual vomit in the upper part from emitting odor and causing patients to feel nauseous and worsen vomiting when they see it.

[0027] Specifically, the vomit one-way inlet component includes a telescopic hose 201 connected and fixed to the bottom of the funnel-shaped cover 2. A one-way valve 202 is fixedly installed on the top inner wall of the box 1, located above the trash can 100. The bottom end of the one-way valve 202 is the outlet, and the top end of the one-way valve 202 extends to the top of the box 1 and is connected and fixed to the bottom end of the telescopic hose 201. The telescopic hose 201 and the one-way valve 202 work together so that when vomit enters the funnel-shaped cover 2, it flows downward into the telescopic hose 201, and then flows downward through the one-way valve 202 into the trash can 100. The one-way flow discharge is used to restrict the vomit flow in one direction and prevent the odor from spreading upward.

[0028] Furthermore, the lifting and vertical guide adjustment assembly includes an electric push rod 402 fixedly installed on the top of the housing 1. The extended end of the electric push rod 402 is fixedly connected to the outside of the funnel-shaped cover 2. L-shaped rods 4 are fixedly connected to all four sides of the funnel-shaped cover 2. Four vertical guide rods 401 are fixedly connected to the top of the housing 1 in a ring at equal intervals. The four L-shaped rods 4 are slidably sleeved on the corresponding vertical guide rods 401. The bottom end of the L-shaped rod 4 is provided with a vertical guide groove that slides and fits on the outside of the corresponding vertical guide rod 401, which serves to guide the vertical sliding of the L-shaped rod 4. The electric push rod 402, L-shaped rods 4 and vertical guide rods 401 work together. The electric push rod 402 drives the funnel-shaped cover 2 to move up and down and stretches or compresses the telescopic hose 201. The funnel-shaped cover 2 drives the L-shaped rods 4 to slide vertically on the corresponding vertical guide rods 401 to perform vertical guidance work, so as to achieve the effect of flexibly adjusting the usage height according to chemotherapy patients of different heights, and to better assist chemotherapy patients in using it.

[0029] Furthermore, the pressure-measuring ring-flush self-cleaning assembly includes a circular sleeve 5 fixedly connected to the top of the funnel-shaped cover 2. An annular tube 501 is slidably fitted inside the circular sleeve 5. Multiple nozzles 503, all inclined inwards, are fixedly connected at equal intervals at the bottom of the annular tube 501. Two handles 6 are fixedly installed on the top sides of the annular tube 501. Pressure sensors 502 are fixedly connected between the bottom sides of the annular tube 501 and the top of the funnel-shaped cover 2. A water pump 505 is fixedly installed on the top left side of the housing 1. A first flexible hose 504 is fixedly connected between the outlet of the water pump 505 and the top left side of the annular tube 501. A suction pipe 506 is fixedly connected between the inlet of the water pump 505 and the bottom left side of the housing 1. Two pressure sensors 502 and the water pump 505 are electrically connected to the PLC controller 3. A battery is fixedly installed on the top of the housing 1, and the PLC controller 3 is fixedly installed on top of the battery. The PLC controller 3, the electric push rod 402, and the water pump 505 are all electrically connected to the battery. The circular sleeve 5, the annular pipe 501, the nozzle 503, the pressure sensor 502, the water pump 505, the first flexible hose 504, and the suction pipe 506 work together, and are pre-set to control the system using the PLC controller 3. The pressure value for the water pump 505 to start and stop is such that when a chemotherapy patient vomits while holding onto the two handrails 6, it creates downward pressure on the two handrails 6, automatically pressing down on the annular pipe 501. The annular pipe 501 presses down on the two pressure sensors 502. The pressure sensors 502 detect the squeezing force and transmit the pressure value to the PLC controller 3. When the pressure value exceeds the preset value, the PLC controller 3 controls the water pump 505 to start. The water pump 505 draws cleaning water through the suction pipe 506 and pumps it into the annular pipe 501 through the first hose 504. The water is then sprayed downwards through multiple nozzles 503 to clean the inside of the funnel-shaped cover 2. The system washes the inside of the telescopic hose 201 and the one-way valve 202 under the downward flow of water. When the chemotherapy patient's hand is separated from the handrail 6 after use, the increased pressure on the pressure sensor 502 is released, causing the detected pressure value to decrease. When the pressure value is lower than the preset value, the PLC controller 3 controls the water pump 505 to automatically shut off. This achieves the effect of automatically rinsing the funnel-shaped cover 2 and the inside of the vomit discharge channel during use, preventing the residual vomit on the upper part from emitting odors and causing patients to feel nauseous and worsen vomiting when they see it. Moreover, no additional manual operation is required for cleaning, improving the effectiveness and convenience of use.

[0030] The method of using this embodiment is as follows: When using the chemotherapy support device, place the trash can 100 with a trash bag inside on the horizontal partition 101 inside the box 1, and move the device to the side of the chemotherapy patient. When it is necessary to adjust the height of the funnel-shaped cover 2 according to the chemotherapy patient of different heights, start the electric push rod 402 in advance to drive the funnel-shaped cover 2 to move up and down, and stretch or compress the telescopic hose 201. The funnel-shaped cover 2 drives the L-shaped rod 4 to slide vertically on the corresponding vertical guide rod 401 to perform vertical guidance work, so as to realize the effect of flexibly adjusting the height of the funnel-shaped cover 2 according to the chemotherapy patient of different heights, and making it easier to assist the chemotherapy patient in using it.

[0031] The PLC controller 3 pre-sets the pressure value for controlling the opening and closing of the water pump 505. When a chemotherapy patient vomits while holding onto the two handrails 6, the vomit enters the funnel-shaped hood 2, flows downward into the telescopic hose 201, and then flows downward through the one-way valve 202 into the trash can 100. This one-way flow restricts the upward emission of odors, achieving the effect of concealing the vomit and masking its odor. Additionally, the downward pressure exerted on the handrails 6 during vomiting automatically presses down on the annular pipe 501. The annular pipe 501 presses down on the two pressure sensors 502, which detect the pressure and transmit it to the PLC controller 3. When the pressure exceeds the preset value, the PLC controller 3 activates the water pump 505, which then flows through the suction pipe 50... 6. Cleaning water is drawn and pumped into the annular pipe 501 through the first hose 504. The water is then sprayed downwards through multiple nozzles 503 to clean the inside of the funnel-shaped cover 2. Under the downward flow of the water, the inside of the telescopic hose 201 and the one-way valve 202 are also cleaned. When the chemotherapy patient's hand is separated from the handrail 6 after use, the increased pressure on the pressure sensor 502 is released, causing the detected pressure value to decrease. When the pressure value is lower than the preset value, the PLC controller 3 controls the water pump 505 to automatically shut off. This achieves the effect of automatically rinsing the inside of the funnel-shaped cover 2 and the vomit discharge channel during use, preventing the odor of residual vomit from emitting and causing nausea and worsening of vomiting when the patient sees it. It further improves the effect of hiding vomit and masking odors, and eliminates the need for separate manual cleaning, improving the effectiveness and convenience of use.

[0032] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
